Our Founders

Gary Porter and Jacques Hétu founded the national accounting organization in 1988. They wanted as its foundation a range of full-time, experienced practitioners whose livelihood depended on public accounting. From those first days, PHI has recruited practitioners who are committed to high standards and ethics and who understand that those who benefit the most from Porter Hétu International are those who contribute their time, energy, experience and knowledge. As a result, Porter Hétu International is brimming with intelligence, experience, ethical professionalism and business acumen.

Gary Porter, CA, FCGA

“All of us were interested in high standards. All of us enjoyed the company of others with these ideals and knew the value of sharing experiences and concerns. The value was great – but it was conceptual more than material. It was only available to those who knew and understood how such a sharing of wisdom and experience among veterans helps us serve our clients better. It was intellectually stimulating, professionally rewarding and personally satisfying.”

“As a founder I am delighted with Porter Hétu International and somewhat humbled by the high quality of the people who comprise the organization.”

Jacques Hétu, FCGA

“Today, as a founder and retired member of Porter Hétu International, I am proud to see the high quality of its members. I realize that this group is like good wine – it does not grow older, it grows better.”
